I'll make it to Texas one of these days.  Heck, I'd like to go just to meet the Cheese and see his shop.

I'm only 135# so I won't talk any smack, I'll just let the Busa do the talkin for me.  And yes, Carpenter Busas can back it up.  

JC, I'm just curious, but have you ever met Bob Carpenter?  Real nice fella, as are you I am sure.  I would love to have the money to buy 2 more Busas.  I would send one to you Johnny, one to the Motorhead and see how they stacked up against Carpenter power.  Not because anyone is better, but to see the different approaches and what would make the most power under the same stipulations of build rules.

I am an automotive engineer by trade and I like seeing the different approaches companies take when building a machine to accomplish a particular goal under a certain set of rules.  I guess what I am trying to say is I really dig this $hit.
382, don't even waste your time. You are way to much of a nice guy to even bother with this clown. I'm sure JC builds a strong motor. It's just unfortunate that his mouth puts out more than his motors do and alot less than a pen or a keyboard in his hands.

It's also unfortunate that he feels that people that farm out engine work are inferior to him, because he builds them. I don't think he understands that's what he earns his living from.

He also does not realize that if you're not on a <span style='color:red'><span style='font-size:15pt;line-height:100%'>Carpenter bike you're behind one.</span></span>

I bet he thinks he's the best there is. Sad. Very sad.
Ok I have to take exception to this one.

I have never been behind a Carpenter bike nor do I expect to be soon.

By the way are you guys done slamming each other or you going to go for another few pages.
Uhhhhh............ sorry oh boosted one. I promise never to speak out of line again. Please spare me the wrath of Ninja Eater. Plus you probably wouldn't want to change the name of your ride to GNT Busa eater. It just don't flow as well.

Listen clown, all I did was ask a question. You got all defensive. I didn't know they give records to bike mechanics, that is what you are right. I always thought your machine is only as fast as YOU can ride it. I'm pretty sure I could get a 145lb pro like keith dennis to run high 8's low 9's on my bike but that don't count where I'm from. I also never claimed to be faster than you either. I could run a modest high 9 on my bike with all stock gearing and suspension/wheelbase. I've never had a GPS but I have had my bike pinned in 6th with a TRE so I'm pretty sure thats close to 200mph. Not tryin' to reinvent the wheel or anyhing I just asked you a question. You need to read the reply and answer accordingly.

Very common to have bikes built and then have a different rider. Almost all shops will do this from time to time. Also very common to ride your own bike. I know at least 10 shops that do both. Als like you said lots of us have them buildt and then we ride them.

just a point....

Too bad it's a weekend event. For me the trip is 30 hours (about 1500 miles) to either Texas or Utah. For the money, I would probably have to pick Utah between the two, 4 runs isn't enough to justify the trip (yet).

So, for now, I will just stick with Maxton (10 hours 625 miles) where I can fine tune my skills. Also, some riders have run as many as 30-40 runs in a weekend. Good value for the $$. Also, I will not stop until I have run 200 in the production class at Maxton.

Once I have improved my racing technique and bolted on some more go fast goodies, I will head to Texas and give you a run Johhny.

Until then, keep flying low and fast. That is why we buy these things, right?

Damn Chris, I didn't know you were rolling like that. I too have gotten past the cosmetics and am working on the HP thang. Starting to get into the racing thing a little now.
